WOODS Carl was about to make some corned beef. "Why is it called corned beef'?" he asked. Lucy didn't know. It was ,one of the meat dishes which was special when she was a child. Her rathet)Veghia,p(eee'er,,e,f,beef':brisket, and mother put' it in the brine for i:70ertain lengtit'of 'time. When it was taken out,she boiled it, slowly and then pressed it in a 5-pound crock. There was no fat so sweet and tasty as on that meat, and — at least to Lucy — it was tops as cold meat for a supper dish. It could also be served hot. How many recall and enjoyed the comics "Jiggs and Maggie (McManus)? Jiggs had an insatiable appetite for corn beef and cabbage at dinner, while his social climber wife Maggie was much annoyed at such a plebeian taste. In response to Carl's question Lucy ventured the opinion that it was probably an Old Country method and perhaps had something to do with Cornwall in England, but she was wrong. While she was having her siesta, her spouse looked it up in dictionaries and an old encyclopedia. Corn or corned beef dates back to A.D. 1565. It was merely salted beef buried in grain to cure. When we mention 'corn' on this continent we naturally think of what is really Indian maize, But corn covers barley, wheat and oats in various overseas countries. In Scotland it means oats, and in England wheat. Going back to Old Testament times, when there was a famine in the land of Canaan, Jacob — or Israel as he was named by God — sent 10 of his sons to Egypt to buy corn. In all probability it was wheat. We also hear of pepper corns and corns of gunpowder. "Corn — A. Saxon. A word found throughout the Teutonic language of the same root as L, granum, a seed." Annandale. "A collective term for all seeds used in making bread. The principal seeds of this kind in a temperate climate are wheat, rye, oats and barley. A ,grain of corn, a single seed of grasses used as food for man or animal (3 barley-corns make an inch)." Zells Encyclopedia. "Corn — verb to form into, grains as gunpowder." Oxford Universal. Thus in early days Corn and grain became intermingled in the English language. And while salt is measured in grains today, a piece of meat was perhaps rubbed with corns or grains of salt to preserve it in early days. A definition of, corned beef in 1875 in America is: "Preserved or moderately salted beef kept in a closed tub." And yet Carl remembers that, salted pork was sometimes buried in bins of grain when he was a small boy. He did not remember salted beef. When Lucy first mentioned corned beef, it was Mrs. N. B. Nickerson, Clinton, who supplied the recipe: 1 gallon water, l' lbs. salt, 1/2 lb. brown sugar, 1/2. oz. salt petre, Boil all together in an iron kettle, skim and strain. Put into pickle tub or crock, and when cold put in meat, having the pickle cover it, weighting it down with a plate, stoned on top. Leave in plate 12-21 days. Simmer at very low heat for four hours. Another old recipe which someone gave Carl varies only by adding 1/2 oz. baking soda in making the fluid and then boiling the meatin it for one, minute before putting into the crock, cooling the fluid rapidly before pouring it Over the meat. This one requires a Wooden cover weighted down with stones, • WINTER CARNIVAL • DANCE CLINTON LEglOil HALL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14 Music by "Blue Water Playboys" Lunch Provided $3,00 Per Couple OPEN NONCE TO COUPLES 21 AND OVEk Entertainment Chairman' I larvoy I lay ler Celebrate 50th anniversary Society holds annual meeting The January meeting of the United Church Women of Knox United Church was held in the Sunday school room on Wednesday afternoon January, 28th.
